The White House has nominated Bergen County Superior Court Judge Brian Martinotti to serve as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
If confirmed, Martinotti would replace U.S. District Judge Stanley Chesler, of Newark, whose retirement is effective June 15. Martinotti became a Superior Court judge in 2002, and from 1987 to 2002 he was with the law firm of Beattie Padovano in Montvale, first as an associate and then becoming a partner in 1994.
Martinotti, 54, becomes the state's third district court nominee awaiting confirmation. Civil and criminal litigator John Michael Vazquez was nominated to the court March 26, and is intended to replace recently retired Joel Pisano. And Bergen County Counsel Julien Neals was nominated Feb. 26 to replace Faith Hochberg, another recent retiree. The district has also seen another judge, William Martini, take senior status recently, but no replacement for him has yet been nominated.
